I'll add another 0.1 BTC

Finally CUDA is getting a bit more attention from developers.

I am currently doing similar optimization work for the scrypt hashing used in Litecoin. About doubled the performance I am getting from most of my cards compared to OpenCL miners. This still sucks big time when compared to ATI cards, but it sucks a bit less than before.

With the scrypt hashing it appears much more difficult to lower the kernel's register count, as the required Salsa20/8 rounds are fairly complex beasts, also the memory-hard part of the algorithm really bangs on the memory controller.

Watch out for potential Windows binary releases in the next days. I will post into the alt cryptocurrency forum.

I'll compile it for Windows, if it compiles for Windows.

EDIT: Ugh, cmake. I have no idea how to cross-compile this.

with driver 314.22 and psychocoder´s modded rpcminer i get 390MHash/s with my 670 gtx on cuda.

a month ago i tried openCL with this card and just had 100MHash/s.


nice work

Anyone know how long it takes before you are givin a chance to make a reddit channel?

Is it like here for noobs 5 hours and a certain amount of posts?

Quite weak so far... Or it's too little?
Try harder.

Perfect. Exactly this.

There was also a poster a while back who asked a similar question about all the desktop computers at his company as he apparently had Admin access. He was stupid enough to use the same username everywhere and was easily found on google for his real identity, matching his job that he described here. He was fired.

So if "get in trouble" means you will be kicked out of your courses, this is obviously not worth it.

I feel pity for the people that sold. I mean, you're in BTC for two reasons, money, and research.

Money: You want to make a ton of it, everybody wants that and we all agree.
Research: You're a nerd, you like cryptography, you're an anarchist, libertarian or any of those stupid labels, you like the concept of a deregulated cryptocurrency and you think it's the future.

So, why the hell are people selling? it's been proven time and again (except the big crash in 2011) that bitcoin is going up.
EVEN if the bubble burst, do you honestly think you'll be see bitcoin under $50 ever again? (Unless there's a major security flaw in the protocol or MTGox gets hacked again) both scenarios unlikely due to the recent upgrades and changes to the platform.

I started mining in August 2012 and I consider myself a late adopter yet, my current profits are bordering 800%
Do I care if I see a retract in gains from 800% to 300%? Of course not! I'm still making money. And most of you are! so why selling?
The way I see it, people here are either making money or "losing opportunities" to make money, which is a fancy way to call it losing money.
Agreed that taking profits never killed anyone, and it's ohh so tempting to sell.
Be wise, be patient and you'll see even bigger margins on your favor.
And that's all I have to say about that.

LOL, I love time travel investing schemes.  Might as well buy lottery tickets if you are going to time travel, though.  You'll get a better return, even after taxes.

It's been a while since I wrote anything about economics or bitcoin but I was bored the other day and decided to write up this article. It's a fairly long read but includes a lot of good information and I thought some of you may find it interesting. Bitcoin is mentioned in several parts of the article and it really helps solidify some of the arguments I'm making. I'm open to any criticism and corrections if you feel I made a mistake anywhere.

EDIT: my website seems to be a bit slow at the moment so if you have any problems loading the page just try again later. Then again 90% of websites appear to be going slow right now so I think there's something more going on here. I saw something on the news a moment ago about a huge DoS attack by spammers which may slow down the internet but I'm not really sure if that's what's going on.
